Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 150: The Archer
While Veer was fighting the dreadful Abomination, Aurora was keeping an eye on the surroundings. Even though her heart screamed at her to watch Veer in a fight, she refused to disobey his orders.
She flicked her hand as the needle in her hand transformed into a deep blue bow, with the marking of the Moon engraved beside the runes. It was bigger than Aurora, but she carried it very well.
Pulling the string and getting into position, she said, "Your name is Rock, right? Be careful. One of them had an Illusion Aspect, so he can come near us."
Never underestimate your opponent. Aurora had learned that clearly when Veer as a child had dealt with her family.
"Thanks," Rock nodded and closed his eyes. Since there was a chance that his senses would be manipulated, he wouldn’t even rely on them to fight.
Seeing that, Aurora was speechless as she thought, ’All of them are madmen!’
Still, she had kept an eye on the Assassins and was waiting for a chance. She wanted them to get away from her so she could perform at her best.
She just needed to be patient.
After some time, she smiled as her eyes glowed in a golden glow. She pulled the string to its maximum limit, as a half-transparent arrow materialized on the bow.
She smiled and released the arrow.
There was no sound; even the air wasn’t affected by the arrow. It was as if it was too weak, and that was what she wanted others to believe.
The arrow travelled at an insane speed and covered over two hundred metres in under a second, appearing behind David as if it had teleported there.
Just before it could pierce his heart, someone else slammed into him, making the arrow hit his shoulder instead of his chest. Still, the power behind the Silent Arrow was devastating as a huge chunk of David’s shoulder was blasted away.
Seeing that, Aurora clicked her tongue and nocked another arrow. This time, it was slithering black, with a snake symbol on its tip.
Not wasting even a second, she fired it again. The arrow was swift and carried deadly precision, but this time it missed the target and hit a mountain leopard. The beast jumped upon the impact, but the next second laid flat on the ground, foam coming out of its mouth. Find your next read on novelbuddy
’Hmm, that bitch,’ Aurora thought, as she crouched down on the tree’s branch she was standing on. She stopped firing and just focused on pinpointing their location.
She could still see them, but it could also be an illusion. She knew that because of her Aspect, as she could sense their location somewhere else. It was being affected by David’s Aspect, but she could still sense that what she was seeing wasn’t real.

In fact, she was surprised seeing the illusion as David had actually manipulated her sight even from such a distance.
’How is it possible though? It’s related to illusion, but not quite that,’ Aurora continued to scan her surroundings while nocking two arrows on her bow.
They were simple wooden arrows with only a single Rune engraved on them. They were the weakest in her arsenal, but deadly nonetheless.
"They might be coming for us!" Aurora said, releasing the arrows as they travelled, cutting through the air and striking a rabbit a hundred metres away from her.
Rock didn’t say anything and simply stood with his eyes closed. His arms over his chest, his muscles bulging through the battle suit.
Aurora smiled, seeing that she still couldn’t pinpoint her opponent’s location. It was a rare thing and there were only a few people who had managed to counter her Aspect in the same stage.
This was the reason one could never base one’s strength properly. One useless Aspect could potentially counter a powerful Aspect and assist in killing that user.
’But you’re underestimating me, boy!’
The blonde elf smiled and took out a compass. This was one of the reasons she had given him the Vitality-boosting Artefact.
Looking at the direction in which the compass pointed, Aurora nocked another Silent Arrow and turned to look there. Her eyes glowed with a golden glow again as they perceived a hidden, golden World.
In that golden World, a thin red thread went deep in the forests, connecting to something far away.
’Gotcha!’
Then, she released the arrow as it drained her mana and shot silently under the dim sky, reaching its target in an instant. The impact was followed by an explosion.
Aurora’s gaze penetrated everything and landed on her arrow’s target, a mass of gross content of a human’s organs. A short distance away, legs of a human clad in a jet-black suit lay in a pool of red.
’Jonathan...he got us!’
Aurora smiled, as she quickly identified the corpse as that of Amelia. Even though she couldn’t see the face because she had blasted her whole torso, she knew those legs weren’t of a man.
’He must have given the Artefact to Amelia. Smart!’
But she knew one thing for sure. They had not separated as she had sensed her target there. And she had only locked on David.
Her Aspect made it practically impossible to lose the target, so it was only getting tough to figure out his location because of his Aspect. But she had prepared for such a situation.
She closed her eyes and then pointed her bow towards her right. Smiling, she said, "They’re here!"
In the next second, a crimson red arrow left her bow and struck a tall evergreen tree in the distance, making a gaping hole in its thick trunk and destroying the surrounding area.
But that wasn’t the point as she sensed some fluctuations in the Mana there. She thought, sending another arrow there with a speed that would surprise even top Archers.
’You’re injured!’
She was already surprised by David’s sheer willpower to keep his Aspect active for so long despite having such a heavy injury. But there was a limit to everything, and the explosion had made him make a slight mistake.
Unfortunately, Jonathan was already in the battlefield and David was also close, having his Aspect active to fool their senses.
As she looked down at Rock, Aurora smiled and thought, ’Let’s see what you trained.’
